Why work for Community Justice Scotland?
At Community Justice Scotland (CJS) we understand that our colleagues are the most important asset we have. We use a values based approach in everything we do and apply this throughout our recruitment which means we focus on the candidates values to ensure they share our passion for making a difference and contribute to our values based culture.
Values based recruitment means we get to know candidates, what motivates them and their passions and interests. By taking this approach, it helps us to know that the candidate will be a good fit for the organisation and the role they are applying for. By aligning our values into our recruitment techniques, this allows candidates to show their own values allowing us to see who they are, the work they do, how they show up at work and the things that drive them and the reason they are drawn to our organisation. More information on CJS’ values can be found in our Values for Action document.
If you are applying for a role with us, please read our guidance on what we are looking for as it is different from the standard competency based process.
